I think his rehab must be about done.   He played 2 games in the GCL and then 4 in Bowie up through Sunday.   Hit great for Bowie, 4 for 13 with a double, homer, 3 walks and an HBP, 5 runs scored, 6 R

In what universe is what Smith is doing considered a breakout?  OPS+ of 102 and poor defense.

It is from a fantasy article by the looks of things so I don't think they care about his defense

It's unreasonable to judge a man on a week's worth of performance?  @wildcard would beg to differ.

I hope Stewart can get back quickly, I want to see what he can do.  Never been a big believer but curious to see if he can turn into something.

In this universe.  I don't think anyone expected him to have done what he's done, holes in his game and everything.

A major league outcome is a huge ceiling for an end of the first round pick. A lot of guys are not MLB regulars. If only 'average"

To put up a .1 rWAR?  To be replacement level is considered a breakout?  I think folks are confusing a hot start for what he actually is.

My question is where is Stewart going to get his playing time and for that material his 25 man roster slot.

If Smith, Santander and Nunez keep hitting its hard to see them losing their spots.  Wilkerson is needed to back up center until Hays figures out which way is up.  Stewart may have to wait for an injury or Sept.

Keep hitting?  Smith has put up a 712 OPS in June.

Its a little tough to be consistent when he does a face plant in a wall.  He only played in 13 games in June.  He still had 9 RBI and scored 7 runs in 46 AB in June.   

He is still tied for the lead in RBI for the team and has a 762 OPS.   He is going to have to go through a long dry spell to lose his spot to Stewart.

Are you citing small sample size?

Also, yea, don't care about RBIs.

If the June numbers are not enough for you he was also below average with the bat in May.  He hasn't been hitting enough to make up for his glove, not by a long shot.

Elias has not sent him  down so maybe he does care about RBI.  Or  maybe its his 1.181 OPS with runs in score position.

Seems totes sustainable since clutch hitting is well known to not be an actual skill.

You said he was hitting.  He hasn't been hitting since April.

Tell Eddie Murray that clutch hitting is not a skill.  But I would hope you are standing more than a arms length away from him when you do.

What the heck does this even mean?  Are you suggesting that Eddie Murray has rage issues?  Somehow I don't think he'd take a swing at me for stating a baseball related opinion.

Even for you that's bizarre.

Not take a swing at you.  When Eddie decides to swing he hits.

You are good a side stepping issues but  the point is I pretty sure Eddie thinks clutch hitting is a skill.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      I respect your opinion and your research. I hope it’s only $5 million the rest of the way so that he’s actually an option for us. With him making a second healthy successful start, I assume the definite details of what is owed will be talk about here soon.  He’s going to be #1 on all the sites/platforms of players most likely to be trade or best available. However they word it.  So the question is… Is McDermott enough to outbid all of baseball, and would we be comfortable with that?  Assuming the Rangers would want pitching for pitching as most teams do.

      Nolan Hoffman has 15 straight scoreless IP in AAA. What do we make of him?

      By RZNJ · Posted

      Good thread.  I hadn’t realized he was on a roll like this.  Hopefully, he keeps it up.  Definitely an option this year and next.

      Amparo made it to at least 49 PA with a strikeout but he went down once yesterday so the no K streaks are over.  Felix Amparo just edged out Adriander Mejia for the most PA without striking out.

      they could also reward batting discipline by forcing pitchers to throw real strikes with at least a robo challenge system

      Fangraphs Updated Top 45 Prospect List

      By RZNJ · Posted

      I didn’t catch it myself but someone pointed out that Matthew Etzel did not make the top 45.   That’s either an oversight or just plain ridiculous.

      You could. But I think that's harder because every player has their own bat they like. Bats aren't, and haven't ever been, subject to the same kind of requirements balls are. The ball is a very specific size and weight and COR, etc. The rules about the bats are basically that they can't be longer than X (something crazy like 48", which nobody has used in a century+), or heavier than Y (again, tailored to deadball or Ruth era batters). I think the pushback from fans and players if they went away from wood would be very substantial. I think much more substantial than the pushback for the pitch clock or other recent changes. Just guessing, but I think it would be easier to convince the world that moving the mound back is a better option. Just moving away from the sound of ball hitting wood bat might spark a revolution. There are no shortage of people who say college baseball isn't real baseball because of aluminum bats (even if they've moved to composite? I don't watch enough college ball to know.) Also, if you're not careful you could get into a college baseball situation where before they got the bats under control teams were scoring like 10 runs a game or more. And I have no idea of the underlying reasons, but in 2023 the median runs/game across all college baseball leagues was nearly seven, which is a level that hasn't been approached in MLB since the 1800s. The ACC averaged 7.5, which makes pre-humidor Coors look like a Camden Yards where every batter is a right-handed pull hitter.
